In this new era of the "Connected Company", businesses can no longer compete with only the assets, talent and technology within their four walls. Yet their most guarded assets – their business processes and data – are fragmented across legacy systems and databases, custom-built or SaaS applications, and cloud platforms. The smartest enterprises are transforming this fragmentation into strength by connecting today’s explosion of applications and data with customers, employees, partners -- but how? What is bimodal IT? Also referred to as “two-speed IT,” bimodal IT is a philosophy and a way of doing digital business that supports two very different modes of information technology. These speeds, called “traditional IT and agile IT”, encompass the old and the new referenced above. Learn the innovative approaches leading IT organizations have adopted to unlock the value of existing assets, accelerate innovation and drive competitive advantage. Why are existing IT delivery models failing to keep up with business demands? What needs to change for IT to move faster while retaining some control? How are leading organizations addressing this challenge? Where are the opportunities to begin changing my approach to IT?

18. New Enterprises go faster with bimodal IT
• Massive pressure from the business to deliver more - need a
‘Rapid IT’ capability
• Bimodal approach enables Rapid IT without compromising
critical systems
• Mode 1 and Mode 2 support each other and need to be
coordinated
• Mode 2 must provide a Framework of Freedom to enable the
business to drive their own projects
• Use APIs as simple abstractions combined with an agile
integration platform to enable change over time
